Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering Re: Laminate flooring in a kitchen 6Dec 15, 2010 12:13 pm Some laminate flooring has a better wet area type, I have purchased some from Bigbrands.om.au and have used in wetter areas for a few years and if you wipe up sooner tan later I have had no troubles. I laid it myself for $14.00 pm and have had no troubles (touch wood) I know that you get what you pay for but as I am happy to lay for the savings I can rip up and replace if damaged. Also go for the decent underlay and dont go for the cheap that they offer - 50m roll of good underlay @ bunnings $50.. worthwile as well insulated and soft Re: Laminate flooring in a kitchen 7Dec 15, 2010 2:23 pm We have quickstep 'eligna' laminate (color: light grey varnished oak) in our kitchen - no problems at all, very happy with it. You get what you pay for, so choose a well known quality brand from a major retailer. Take a sample home if you can and test it out. eimaj Re: Laminate flooring in a kitchen 8Jan 21, 2011 12:26 am majaca We are looking at getting laminate flooring in our kitchen. I have read numerous posts about the good and bad of it. Can everyone who has it in their kitchen please comment on if any water damage has occurred???? Can you please let us know what you think of it and how long it has been installed for? Thanks Many people hesitate about should they choose laminate flooring for the kitchen. Actually, the kitchen laminate flooring is a great solution for the kitchen floor. It allows you to add stone or wood decoration to the floor at the kitchen which will help you to feel better and more comfortable during the dinners at the kitchen. It is one of the most inexpensive solutions for the floor. Also, it could provide all the necessary durability and beauty for your kitchen floor. The laminate floor is easy for take care of and for cleaning which another huge plus for your kitchen area. It is sealed and resists shrinkage and swelling during cold and warm weather conditions and it is not easily damaged by the water. You should think also which laminate flooring is suitable for your kitchen. And I have some tips for you. Use glue laminate because it is more suitable than the no-glue laminate. It will make your floor at the kitchen stronger; it won’t absorb any accidentally dropped water between the laminate boards because they are filled with glue. Also, it will add some additional years of life to the kitchen laminate. Choose laminate that is composed of different layers such as core level and design level. And don’t forget the design and the colors of your kitchen laminate. By the way in stalling laminate flooring, it needs three days before it is finally laid down. And if you are worrying about how long it will last, I think three to four years. I hope it will help you. ^^, Re: Laminate flooring in a kitchen 9Jan 21, 2011 8:44 pm mariff majaca We are looking at getting laminate flooring in our kitchen.
